172721742 Audi WASHER

Washers distribute the load of a fastener – like a bolt or nut. They provide a wider surface area, so the clamping force is spread out. They also help prevent damage to the surfaces they’re pressing against, and they can help maintain a tight connection even as things vibrate or settle over time. Some also act like a shield, protecting the bolt or nut from the elements and corrosion. They come in a bunch of different materials – steel, stainless steel, nylon, even aluminum – each with its own properties. You’ll find these everywhere. Suspension components, brake systems, engine parts, body panels… pretty much anywhere things are bolted together, you’ll likely find washers involved. They’re often used with bolts and nuts, but they can also be used on their own to fill gaps or create space. They are a small part but affect a lot. Without washers, you'll notice if a bolt starts to loosen sooner, or if something develops a stress crack around where it’s bolted. They ensure even pressure, which is key for safety and reliability. A missing or worn washer can lead to bigger problems down the road, like stripped threads, broken bolts, or even a failed component. They’re inexpensive, but essential. If you're doing any kind of repair or maintenance, it’s always a good idea to replace washers whenever you remove and re – install bolts. You can find a wide selection of them, including all the different sizes and materials, at places like Fixparts Online – they make it easy to get exactly what you need.
